Candidate: CVE-2006-6056
References:
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=d6ddf55440833fd9404138026af246c51ebeef22
MISC:http://projects.info-pull.com/mokb/MOKB-14-11-2006.html
Description:
Linux kernel 2.6.x up to 2.6.18 and possibly other versions, when SELinux
hooks are enabled, allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash)
via a malformed file stream that triggers a NULL pointer dereference in the
superblock_doinit function, as demonstrated using an HFS filesystem image.
Ubuntu-Description:
The hfs file system driver did not properly handle corrupted data
structures. By mounting a specially crafted hfs file system, a local
attacker could exploit this to crash the kernel. This only affects
systems which enable SELinux (Ubuntu disables SELinux by default).
Notes:
dannf> Though this bug fix applies to 2.4, 2.4 does not include SELinux
so it should not be vulnerable to the DoS
